The Stephenson Method of Creative Healing

 Hip, Back and Sciatica class

In Fayetteville, Arkansas - at 28 S. College #8 the old NW Ark School of Massage room

Saturday August 27 & 28  - Hips, Back and Sciatica 9AM - 4PM

These classes are complementary but you may take them separately for ASBMT hours... for NCBTMB hours you need them both. 

 Each day is 6 hours.
What's the difference between the two days??
These classes are complimentary and it would be best if you took them together.  However there are some teachers who only offer the first part so I am able to offer the second day for those who would like to take it alone.  The first class will give you the basics of the sciatic treatment that I use for clients who are only experiencing pain in the mid and/or lower back.  The second day is for clients who are either experiencing pain in the legs or feet along with low back pain or only leg and/or foot pain or who have pain in the abdominal area along with the leg or back pain.
